So much Tech and so little time

Interactive Boards

So this is a little off topic for me but recently I’ve been playing with a range of new and old Interactive Smart Boards. A client reported some problems with their boards and how they align, i.e. if you draw a straight line then the line on the board appears above where your drawing. Here’s my findings (some of these have been confirmed with a Smart Engineer):

Installation

When the board is installed there are a couple of factors which can cause the board to loose calibration.

Check there is a sufficient gap under the pen tray to the wall, and that the board is not bent because the brackets are too tight.

Check the screws into the bracket are not drilled into breeze block, the metal in the bricks pick up the electric current. Solution is to insulate the screws and the screw heads with electrical insulation tape so it does not connect with the metal bracket.

Check for the nearest wireless AP, if it is on the same wall or very close it will cause interference.

Electrical wires running vertical in the wall can produce interference if the board is installed directly over them.

Hardware

Controllers SC9 are no longer supported and generally considered temperamental.
